It’s been a LONG time!

A big hello to everyone 🙂  It’s been 7 months since I last posted anything on my blog and I can see things have changed a lot on WP – I’m still getting my head around it!  I hope everyone is well and I look forward to catching up with you all in time.

My first post for 2017 is of a juvenile rabbit enjoying the shelter of the shade on a very hot afternoon a few weeks ago. Click in for a larger view.

Light Weaver…

We are heading into late autumn here but this is an image I took during summer last February.  Just after sunrise I spotted this spider repairing her web in beautiful light 🙂  I hope everyone is well!

Mirror, mirror on the dam…

Hello again everyone and hope that you are all well!! After an extended and unplanned absence from the blog I am finally posting my first image for 2015 🙂  Taken about 30 minutes after sunrise, the bubbles on the water surface are from a large flock of various water birds I disturbed (accidentally) as I came around the tree line.

Shadow and cloud…

…and another tree!

Nulla Vale shortly after sunrise a few weeks ago.  Today has been a horrible day (with night to come) here in Victoria – fires all around, watching the wind and warning app on the phone, radio is on and fingers crossed.  Thoughts to those impacted already.

Darling Dahlias.

Heading towards late summer the Dahlias are starting to bloom.  One of my favourites at this time of year, the sheer variety of their shapes and colours always amazes me.

Fly fishing?

Yesterday was a day of dramatic thunderstorms.  During the afternoon, before the later storms, it became very hot and humid.  The surface of the dam was busy! (Click on the images for the best view).
